Chapter 126 - Do I Look Like a Loser?
“If you are already accustomed to the methods that you have used to manage your artistes when you were abroad, then you can go home and continue being as strict and rude as you were then. Why do I have to accept it or bear with it? Moreover, the way that you speak is not sharp…it is as though you have no manners at all.”
Jiang Yuning refuted all of Vera’s statements.
“I admit that I am an artiste who has already been blacklisted and that I have an extremely bad reputation. However, I do not believe that I will shoot to fame immediately just because you are my exclusive agent now. In fact, I feel as if the nine years of education that I had is wasted simply by talking to you. Are you certain that by being my agent, you would be able to bring me up to fame instead of getting the public to violently berate me in the streets?” Jiang Yuning could not help but sneer.
“Vera, I have already been in the entertainment industry for five years now. I am neither a newcomer nor an actress who would be so easily manipulated by you. If you want to work with me, then you had better work on your attitude before you appear before me again. If you feel that I am incurable and that there is no hope for me, then you can simply withdraw yourself from having to be my agent. However, since you have specifically requested to be my agent, I believe that you will not withdraw yourself so easily.”
“Did you really think that I would just succumb to whatever you say?”
“I am not afraid of anything. I do not have a lot of fears. If I had to choose between happiness or fame and fortune, I would choose the former without any hesitation at all. Did you really think that you understand me and know me thoroughly just by reading through a few pages of information on me? You are too naive.”
“Mutual respect is the most basic motto in my life. If you do not have any mutual respect for me, then there is nothing else for us to talk about.”
“That would never happen in this lifetime,” Lu Jingzhi replied instantly as he looked into Jiang Yuning’s eyes.
“This lifetime is so long!”
“I will always control my own emotions and I will never hurt you.”
“Alright, I will stop teasing you already. Second brother, do not worry, I will not let anyone bully me. If I were to get bullied and can no longer handle things on my own, I will be sure to inform you immediately so that you can teach them a lesson, okay?” Jiang Yuning replied as she looked back at Lu Jingzhi.
She should have known that Lu Jingzhi would take this matter very seriously.
At this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly received a phone call from Grandpa Tan.
“Yuning, your father has just called to tell me that he would be coming over to my house…would you like to take the opportunity…”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuning replied decisively. “Grandpa Tan, I will turn the car around and return to your house now. Please help me stall him for as long as you can.”
“I will. He is also on the way here now. It is raining, make sure to take care of your safety on your way here.”
Jiang Yuning felt very confused emotionally after receiving the phone call from Grandpa Tan.
Lu Jingzhi held tightly onto her hands and tried to comfort her and calm her down.
“Second brother, I am afraid.”
“I am here. There is nothing that you need to be afraid of,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he hugged Jiang Yuning tightly to give her the warmth and assurance that she needed.
